Today's guest is the Head of Research at Bloc Ventures, David Pollington. Previously, David spent nine years leading web services and developing collaborative platforms for GSMA before joining Bloc Ventures, a VC firm based in London that invests in many early technologies based on AI. On the AI in Business podcast, David discusses the possibility of 'complete autonomy' in machinery across several heavy industries — construction, mining, and manufacturing among them. That means machinery in need of no human intervention to complete tasks in these fields. Looking years into the future, David also answers vital questions on what the processes and data infrastructure will look like for such a transition.
